Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Foreign (MFA) ua hāʻawi lākou i ka naturalization iā Julian Assange. Ua hele mai ka hopena o ka MFA i kekahi lā ma hope o ka hāʻawi ʻana o Quito i kahi kāleka iā Assange.
Hiki i ka passport ke loaʻa i kāna hana mua i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka palekana pilikino, e like me ka makemake o Ecuador e hoʻonā i ka noho ʻelele mau loa o Assange. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka mea hoʻokumu WikiLeaks i ka ʻelele o Ecuadorian no ʻelima mau makahiki.
Ua hōʻole ʻia ka UK Foreign Office i kahi noi mai Quito e hāʻawi i ke kūlana diploma-whower. Ua hāʻawi ʻia iā ia ka passport i ka lā 12 o Kēkēmapa.
Ua ʻōlelo ke Kuhina Nui o ʻEkuador ʻo Guillaume Long, ke ʻimi nei ka ʻāina i kahi hopena “hanohano a kaulike” me ke aupuni UK no kā Assange hihia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole e haʻalele ʻo Assange i ka ʻelele o Ecuador ʻoiai ʻaʻohe mea hōʻoia.
Hoʻopuka pinepine ʻo Ecuador i kēlā mau kāleka ID no ka poʻe e koi nei i ke kūlana noho, i kapa ʻia he cedula. ʻO ka ʻaha kūkā ʻo Vienna e pili ana i nā pilina pili aupuni i ʻōlelo ʻia ua pale ʻia ka mea nāna e hoʻopaʻa i ka passport passport. ʻAʻole naʻe ia he hōʻoia, eia nō naʻe.
Noho ʻo Assange i loko o ka ʻelele o Ecuadorian ma Lādana mai ka 2012, i ka wā i hoʻopiʻi ʻia ai ʻo ia no ka hana hoʻomāinoino ma Suetena. ʻOiai ua hoʻokuʻu nā loio o Suedena i nā uku, noho mau nā mākaʻi Pelekane ma waho o ka ʻelele i mākaukau e hopu i ka mea hoʻokumu WikiLeaks no ka haki ʻana i kāna kūlana bail 2012. Hōʻole ʻo Assange e hāʻawi pio i nā luna o Beritania, makaʻu lākou e lawe lākou iā ia i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa kahi āna i manaʻo ai e hoʻopiʻi ʻia no kāna mau hana subversive.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Assange refuses to surrender to the British authorities, fearing they would extradite him to the United States where he expects to be prosecuted for his subversive activities.
- The reaction of the MFA comes one day after Quito reportedly granted an ID card to Assange.
- Although Swedish prosecutors have since dropped the charges, British police remain outside the embassy ready to arrest the WikiLeaks co-founder for breaking his 2012 bail conditions.
